At my primary school,I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied,but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to the sixth grade,everyone would be surprised by me.

But actually,they weren't.

When I arrived at my new class,I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do. However,there was always someone else who could do them better. My grades began to suffer.

More talented girls often sang solo(獨(dú)唱). I believed I wasn't smart. I believed I wasn't talented. I believed I was a failure. Over the next two years,I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little.

I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact,when I did badly in a test,my classmates never laughed at me.

No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway,there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything,and that s really okay.
